The invention relates to a rotating electric machine including a coil of a wire having thereon an insulating coating comprising a polybenzimidazole. This rotating electric machine is stably maintained for a long time in dielectric strength even under a highly radioactive environment, due to the use of the special insulating coating. With this, the rotating electric machine can be driven stably for a long time. The invention further relates to another rotating electric machine including (a) a rotor having a rotating shaft; (b) a bearing for supporting the rotating shaft; and (c) a grease applied to the bearing. This grease contains (1) a polyphenyl ether having at least three aromatic rings in the molecule and (2) a urea. The rotor of this rotating electric machine is stably supported in the bearing for a long time even under a highly radioactive environment, due to the use of the special grease. Thus, this rotating electric machine can also be rotated stably for a long time.

A gas insulated metal-clad electrical power equipment has a cylindrical insulating bushing for supporting an electrical conductor. The bushing is filled with the insulating gas therein and air-tightly fixed to a grounded metal compartment wall member of the equipment in such a way that the outer surface of the conductor directly faces the inner circumferential surface of a through hole formed in the wall member with a distance g therebetween. When the axial length l of the inner cylindrical space of the bushing is determined as l.gtoreq.g/4 and further the difference in diameter between the wall through hole .phi..sub.1 and the inner cylindrical space .phi..sub.2 of the bushing is determined as .phi..sub.2 -.phi..sub.1 .gtoreq.4 mm, it is possible to effectively prevent dielectric breakdown along the surface of the bushing. Owing to the above arrangement, it is possible to effectively reduce the size, space, weight, cost, etc. of the bushing, as compared with conventional ones.

A vacuum monitor for a vacuum interrupter which can detect poor vacuum pressure at high detection sensitivity from the outside of the interrupter, on the basis of the impulsive electromagnetic wave signals generated when vacuum pressure increases within the vacuum interrupter. The vacuum monitor according to the present invention comprises, in particular, a detector terminal of capacitor coupler type or inductor coupler type disposed near a high voltage conductor for receiving impulsive electromagnetic wave signals, a signal level discriminating section, and a diagnosis section for improving the reliability of the monitor, particularly when the detected signal level of the electromagnetic wave signals is low.

Vacuum monitor for vacuum interrupter

An abnormally high vacuum pressure of a vacuum interrupter is detected from outside of the interrupter in response to electromagnetic wave signals generated by an electric discharge derived in response to a voltage difference and depending upon Paschen's law. Since the above-mentioned electric discharge is quite different from so-called partial discharge, even when the fixed and movable contacts are closed (i.e., under hot-line condition), it is possible to detect poor vacuum pressure on the basis of the electric discharge existing between the fixed and movable contact rods including two contacts and the main shield, as well as when the two contacts are open. The vacuum monitor according to the present invention comprises a rod or loop antenna fixedly or movably disposed near a conductive material of or connected to the vacuum interrupter and a detection section including, in particular, a 2 to 20 KHz band-pass filter.

Vacuum monitor device and method for vacuum interrupter

A pressure monitoring system for a high-voltage vacuum circuit interrupter including a plurality of capacitors connected in series located outside an evacuated housing and between two metallic end plates each attached to the electrode holder and an arc shielding member. The pressure monitoring system which monitors the deterioration of vacuum pressure within the evacuated housing of the interrupter by detecting the change in the electric field intensity of the capacitors dependent upon the change in vacuum pressure comprises a light source, at least one electric field detecting member having a Pockel's cell located on one of the capacitors, light receiving member and a vacuum pressure determining member, whereby an automatic monitoring of vacuum pressure within the evacuated housing of the vacuum circuit interrupter or within each of the evacuated envelopes of a plurality of vacuum circuit interrupters can be made.
